Dayum!! Slow up in here today!!!
Get to gym and see waste basket outside. Owner says whatever you do do not go into middle dressing rooms bathroom. Someone threw up and it got all over the place. Said he almost puked himself. Wife came in later with a tub of clorox and stuff to clean it up with. YUCK!!!!!!!
So I am working out and had earbuds in. Noticed this young girl come in who was really overweight and looked totally lost and kinda wandering. I noticed her watching me as I was moving around from exercise to exercise. She goes and gets on the abduction machine and even over my earbuds I hear her slamming the weight. So I take my earbuds out and walk over and the guy beside me (who she came in with) says she aint got a clue what she is doing. I said well you should be showing her instead of letting her do it wrong and hurt herself or get embarrassed. She didnt have it unlocked so I went over to show her how to do it. "Am I doing it wrong". I told her yes and showed her how to do it and she said she had surgery on her hip before so she couldn't stretch too far. She was unable to even go shoulder width??? I told her she may want to find something else to do since she couldnt really use that machine. So I showed her some of the other machines to use. Looked up and she was gone a few minutes later.
When I finished session she was in the aerobics room sitting in the corner playing on her phone. I asked her what she was doing hiding in the corner and she said she was tired plus she didn't know what to do.
Told her not to worry she will figure it out. Told her to start off with to go to the womens side and use some of the machines because they were pretty easy to figure out. Told her what times I go to the gym and introduced myself and let her know if she wanted me to help her through a few exercises to get her familiar with everything I would be glad to help.
Makes me upset when these ladies come in with these guys and the guys just do their thing and leave the girls to wander around and have no clue what to do. They usually sit on the ab machine and work abs. I have been a newb in the gym and I know how intimidating it can be working out in a new place not having a clue what you are doing!
TL/DR
Right here
Is beyond awesome
I respect you so much. I really hope you know that.
RESPECT.

Was just covering the boat and throwing all the beer cans in the back yard. These little black and white moths were flying up all over the place (chickens would have loved those BTW). Was thinking I should have Nanner over for a backyard BBQ

excellent work Dana. I hated seeing dudes bring them women in and just let them wander about. Had two dudes do this regularly at the base gym I went to. They brought 2 girls in with them and the whole time these guys are lifting(usually with garbage ROM anyway) he girls are asking them to teach/train them on how to lift. the guys would kind of laugh and poke fun at them the them the whole time....
lol until my workout partner at the time walked over and told the girls they could workout with her everyday. she went on to out squat and out bench both the guys after they started talking shiet to her. I lol'd hard when she actually out benched one of their quarter squats
brb 135 pound girl out lifting two 160-180 pound guys.... and on one of the lifts that even the bros do!You would be surprised just how much time I have to waste.

New front deck/porch coming up...
And a selfie from last night...
And thanks you guys! I just felt bad for the girl going at it alone and not knowing how to work equipment. I have been that girl. I stuck with it so hopefully she will too!**DIRTYSOUTHCREW**

That is awesome. I should have went off more on that guy because I think he embarrassed her more than anything. She just looked defeated when she was in the corner and it hurt my heart. She is in there at least trying so I felt I needed to offer her help and talk to her.Originally Posted by 400Lb Gorilla
